Due to various reasons, humans do not have an accurate number of the number of alien races still remaining on the continent of Sainz.
But from a general point of view, it is agreed that among these different races, the largest number is undoubtedly the orcs.
Among the orcs, the largest group is the werewolves.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also confirmed this when communicating with various orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland.
There are more than two hundred large and small orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland, including nearly twenty werewolf tribes, with a total of more than 30,000 people, accounting for nearly 30% of the total number of orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland. .
Among the orc tribes entrenched in the north of the Malo Empire, the werewolf tribe is said to account for 40%, and the largest of them, the Wolf werewolf tribe, has more than 50,000.
Such a huge number, coupled with the powerful fighting power of the werewolf tribe, makes this Wolf werewolf tribe form a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the northern part of the Maro Empire.
According to some information that Baron Franklin revealed to Hogg in private, in fact, although this place in the north is nominally under the control of the Malo Empire, the Malo Empire has never had much control over it.
To put it simply, the situation here is similar to that of the Black Rice Wasteland, and the orcs are the masters here.
Of course, the reason for this situation is entirely because this northern tundra, like the Black Rice Wasteland, is a place with extremely harsh environment. The Lampali Kingdom is unwilling to invest so much manpower and material resources to drive away the orcs, but just In order to occupy a wasteland of black rice that is of little use.
Similarly, the Maro Empire is unwilling to invest more manpower and material resources to seize this even more useless tundra.
But now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has taken a fancy to this place. It is planned to build this place into a magic industrial base and cargo transit base in the northern part of the mainland. But he had to deal with the orcs who actually controlled this place.
The mighty convoy led by Hogan encountered a group of werewolves about five hundred meters away from the Wolf werewolf tribe. Was stopped.
"Humans, what are you doing here?" One of the leading werewolves asked in the common language of mainland humans.
Hogan looked at the werewolf up and down with great interest, and found that compared to the werewolves around him, his clothes were obviously much neater, and there were even several pieces of bright armor on key locations on the chest and crotch. as protection.
Compared to his werewolf companions who didn't even have complete clothing, his conditions were undoubtedly much better.
Coupled with the fact that he speaks fluent human common language, it can be seen that his status is much higher than other werewolves.
"Hello. We are businessmen from the south. We are visiting your tribe this time because we want to do some business with you." Hogan smiled.
"Doing business?" The werewolf glanced at Hogan, and then at the huge motorcade behind him, his eyes a little confused.
Because what was following Hogan was not a traditional human carriage, but a large, strange-looking magical freight motorcycle that he had never seen before.
This was the first time he had seen such a strange human caravan.
"Yes." Hogan nodded lightly, raised his hands and clapped them, and six subordinates of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce came over carrying three boxes. Open in front of the werewolf in turn.
The box did not contain the magic machine, the representative product of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but a box filled with white rice. One box contained several pieces of heavy cotton-padded clothes, and the last box contained iron pots, plastic washbasins, iron nails and other daily necessities.
"Look, we have brought a large amount of food, clothing, and items such as iron tools that you urgently need this time. I think this will interest you, right?" Hogan looked at the group of people opposite him with a smile. the light werewolf asked.
These werewolves stared at the things in the box for a long time. Even the leading werewolf couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips, which showed that he was extremely excited.
However, after a moment, the leading werewolf suddenly raised his head, showed a vicious grinning expression at Hogan, and said sternly: "Human! Get out!"
Hogan frowned slightly: "I'm here to do business with you, and..."
"Get out!" The werewolf interrupted Hogan's words loudly, and even raised the flattened iron rod in his right hand and made a heavy slashing gesture towards Hogan, which was full of threats.
Hogan shook his head helplessly: "Well, since you are unwilling, then I have to find another tribe."
After saying that, Hogan waved behind him, and the huge convoy turned around, bypassing the Wolf werewolf tribe that occupied a vast area in front, and headed towards the tundra further to the west.
"Lord Baron, has there been any record of successful trade between human merchants and these orcs in your Maro Empire before?" Hogan looked back at the distant Wolf tribe and asked Baron Franklin beside him.
"Yes, but very few. In comparison, there are many records of being robbed by orcs." Baron Franklin gave Hogan a meaningful smile.
Hogan smiled slightly and took out a magic call box from his arms.
"Captain Alston, how is the situation now?"
"There is no movement yet. But we will monitor it at any time. You should be careful in other directions."
"good."
Seeing Hogan take the magic phone box back into his arms, Baron Franklin couldn't help but raise his head.
Seeing the black cloud floating in the sky, Baron Franklin grinned with a strange expression.
Should I say that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is rich and wealthy, or should I say that it is rich in resources
It was just a small operation, but a magic airship was specially dispatched, completely denying others a way to survive.
If the large freight magic locomotive were to advance at full speed, the convoy would be able to penetrate hundreds of kilometers into the tundra before dark.
However, Hogan deliberately controlled the speed until it was completely dark, and he only arrived at a desolate land only fifty kilometers away from the Wolf werewolf tribe.
It is still some time before early spring, and the late-night temperature on the northern tundra is extremely low. The convoy is sleeping in this unprotected place, and the conditions are extremely harsh.
But before setting off, Hogan had made all preparations.
After confirming the campsite, the staff of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce first took down some huge metal frames from the large freight magic locomotive, and soon set up a metal bungalow.
Then it was covered with thick leather on the outside, and several magic air conditioners were installed inside. A layer of blankets was placed on the ground, and the magic air conditioners were turned on. When the warm air blew, the whole room became completely warm in an instant, as if it was roaring outside. The cold wind tundra is basically two worlds.
Several portable folding metal tables were set up in the room, and a magic stove was placed on each table. A large pot was placed on it, and the fresh meat was cooked. After a while, the strong aroma of meat filled the whole room, making people feel My body and mind suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
Baron Franklin took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. He felt that the fatigue caused by the journey subsided instantly, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of contentment.
"Director Hogan, you told me before that you wanted to camp here. I was really shocked. The nights here are colder than you imagined. I thought you were from the south and didn't understand the cruelty here. Such a crazy idea. Now look at it..."
"How was it?" Hogan asked with a smile.
Baron Franklin looked around and nodded with satisfaction.
"This is simply a miracle. Being able to build such a warm enough residence in such a wilderness is beyond my expectation. Not to mention being able to enjoy such a delicious dinner here is simply a pleasure. An outing, not the arduous journey I had expected.”
"Lord Baron, this is the comfortable travel package that our Chamber of Commerce is currently promoting. It is specially designed for nobles like you who like to go out and have fun. You see, with such a set of facilities, you can enjoy the same experience as you do no matter where you are. You can live a comfortable life at home without worrying about the difficulties caused by the journey. After eating, you can take a comfortable hot bath in the specially set up bathroom next to it to relieve you of the stress of the day. Hard work,” Hogan laughed.
"Really? That's really enjoyable."
Baron Franklin laughed and took out a perfectly chilled bottle of wine from a small portable magic refrigerator beside him. After taking a sip, he couldn't help but let out another sigh of contentment.
In such a cold weather outside, it is a great pleasure to hide in a warm house and enjoy cold wine that is not meant to be enjoyed in this weather.
Of course, this time, the caravan from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not come here just to promote the concept of this comfortable travel package.
After dinner, Baron Franklin returned to his private room to rest, while Hogan stared outside in the room, waiting quietly.
The night gradually deepened, and the camp gradually fell into silence. The entire tundra also became deathly silent, and the whole world seemed to have become quiet.
However, just when Hogan felt a hint of sleepiness coming over him, he suddenly felt a slight vibration in his chest.
Hogan reached into his arms and took out the slightly vibrating magic phone box.
"Captain Alston, is there a situation?"
"Yes. Those werewolves have left the tribe and are rushing towards you."
"Okay, we are ready, let them come. Captain Auston, please continue to monitor them, and if there is any change, please notify us at any time."
"no problem."
After cutting off the magic call box, Hogan opened the door and walked out.
Hogan shivered when he was blown by the biting cold wind outside, and instantly felt much more awake.
"Director, is it time?" A human guard wearing the uniform of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards came over.
Hogan waved his hand: "Send the order and be ready to meet the enemy at any time." (To be continued...)
